I watched a couple interviews with Michael Wolff on youtube. He said Epstein tried to hire him to write his biography and showed him photos of DJT with young looking women that could have been underage teenagers. (Or just young looking, he didn't know) He also said he tried to take the story to journalists/news orgs multiple times over the years, but none of them would touch it. Until now. So yeah, people tried, like Katie Johnson, and the stories got squashed. Or like the Access Hollywood tape, it was widely reported and he still won the election in 2016. Teflon don, indeed.

My husband says eMachines have a pretty common capacitor problem. It's an easy fix to remove and replace for people who know how.

Before selling, the capacitors should be visually checked, at minimum, because they can leak and that's no good.

May I ask what happened that you are off your meds? Perhaps we can band together and find a solution.

(Example, on the menopause forums when doctors refuse or withdraw hrt, there can sometimes be help: online resources, or suggestions on what to ask and how to ask it, or suggestions on alternatives when certain dosages or therapies don't work)

There's a lot of overlap with adhd and meno brain (peri and meno also often uncover previously undiagnosed adhd)

Having outside help is invaluable when your own brain is scattered.

I'm glad you said jjk... it would have driven me nuts today trying to remember where I know this from.

It's been on my mind too. Hidden Inventory is in limited run in theaters right now. I want to go, but hate crying in public.

Are they shaken or stirred?

I remember reading Ron DeSantis (governor of Florida) said he did this on dates. He would say Thigh Food for Thai food. If they corrected him he wouldn't date them again.

He's married now and I wonder if his wife ever offers to pick up Thigh food for dinner.

I don't see it as a way to justify inaction. I see it as a way to be forgiving of myself if I mess up sometimes.

Example: in the worst of my grief, I threw away some recyclables because I just couldn't wash them out properly. It took everything just to eat.

I didn't pile guilt on myself over it. I recycle 99% of the time, I never litter. I have to check my pockets for random trash before doing laundry.

Utility companies, corporations, and rich people are not cleaning up after themselves and their inaction almost negates everything me and everyone I personally know can possibly do.

Knowing they are dumping faster than I can shovel doesn't mean I stop shoveling. I still want and actively work to leave this place better than I found it.

Those 91 jets just mean I don't feel overwhelming guilt when I fail. I just try to do better next time.

Anything ginger (ginger ale, ginger beer, spicy, not spicy) as long as it's fizzy. Not all the time, these are treats.

Most root beer. A&W is solid. There's one I don't like with perfume undertones.

We make our own seltzer and it's my favorite. But any ice cold seltzers will do.

If I'm in a restaurant and craving soda, I get a coke or diet coke.

In the US South, an ice cold Cheerwine made with cane sugar in a glass bottle.

As an atheist/agnostic, I believe the 9% are indeed people who think end-timers will kill us all in a man-made catastrophe while screaming the fire they set themselves is proof of god's final judges.

As long as he was accepting the no's gracefully, and wasn't an asshole to any of them... Then yeah, that's a pretty honest way to play the numbers game and find someone who is also dtf.

And this was at a frat party... not work or church... so appropriate time and place as well

Did he ever settle down?

 

This is not a complaint, but a commentary on how I've been trying to get it to be more commonplace to talk about. Like the weather or a new hobby, lol

I've had a more social month. Was having lunch with my boomer uncle and he asked how menopause was going. He meant it in a very sincere way, and he shared some of what he remembered from when my aunt was going through it. He was glad the progesterone is helping my night terrors.

I was telling my husband about Naomi Watt's book, and he was getting angry on our behalf at some of the stories. He's planning to listen to the audiobook too. I'm likeing her book, it's kind of a cliff note version of all the books, along with a lot of personal stories from lot's of women.

My sons (step) and dad (before he passed) have been part of the conversation as well.

Which I'm realizing it sounds like I'm just around men, but I've talked to my sister-in-law and female friends and relatives too. I'm just around the men in my life quite often. My "found aunties" are also starting to check in about it too. They are 3 sisters in their 70s and 2 went through forced menopause because of breast cancer and are still hesitant about HRT after those studies. And they were brought up to not talk about it.
